Merge discussion

Proposing Counter-Strike Neo, Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies, Counter-Strike Online, Counter-Strike Online 2 be merged into Counter-Strike (series). Each of these titles is lacking significant coverage to stand as a separate article. I think it would be better to consolidate them into the series article. --The1337gamer (talk) 09:51, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

• I've merged the content that was sourced. All four articles have been redirected. --The1337gamer (talk) 21:50, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

• Counter-Strike: Online and Counter-Strike: Online 2 is notable video games in South Korea. Counter-Strike online e-sports competition is also be hold. I think both article should be independent articles. -- Kanghuitari (talk) 07:52, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Do you have any reliable sources that could be used to expand those articles? I've already merged and redirected them so I'd recommend expanding the content on this article first and then splitting if they get significantly large to spinout. --The1337gamer (talk) 10:29, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

First, That games is suitable for independent articles, because that games are notable. Counter-Strike Online was held a lot of leagues include World Cyber Games. And, I can expand and add a reliable sources for these articles, so. I can. yes. -- Kanghuitari (talk) 08:56, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

• Counter-Strike (series) → Counter-Strike
• Counter-Strike → Counter-Strike (video game)

– The Counter-Strike series seems to meet the following criteria on WP:NCVG:

"...If a video game series has a naming conflict solely with the first game in the series (e.g., Final Fantasy), the series page should reside at the primary name if the series possesses a minimum of 3 video game articles as well as at least one other unrelated video game or related media item. Otherwise, the first game in the series should occupy the primary name, and the series article should be disambiguated with "... (series)"."

...So, with that being said, should the series page be moved to the base title? Steel1943 (talk) 15:47, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

I'd agree, this makes perfect sense. Lordtobi (✉) 16:03, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Support Per nom. For that matter, I'd be fine with you boldly doing it. -- ferret (talk) 16:37, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Partly done: Counter-Strike has been moved by me to Counter-Strike (video game), however, I am unable to delete the original Counter-Strike redirect to move Counter-Strike (series) onto it, assistance please. Lordtobi (✉) 12:43, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

@Sergecross73:, could you kindly delete the redirect at Counter-Strike and move Counter-Strike (series) over it? -- ferret (talk) 13:02, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

No problem. I've gone and done it. Did I do it correctly? Sergecross73 msg me 13:21, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Inconsistent release date for Counter-Strike (video game)

I noticed that Counter-Strike's (the game, not the series) release date changes depending on which page you are. On the page about the series (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Strike), it says: "First release: Counter-Strike, June 19, 1999". If you click on that link and go to Counter-Strike (video game), the release date is now November 8, 2000. According the game's Steam page (http://store.steampowered.com/app/10/), the release date is November 1, 2000. Which one is correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LuukB (talk • contribs) 20:42, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

• Version 1.0 released on November 9, 2000. Source 1 – GameSpot, Source 2 – Official Counter-Strike website, Source 3 – Shacknews. The mod and beta were released at earlier dates. --The1337gamer (talk) 20:45, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 26 February 2019

The first version of Counter-Strike that was published was a HalfLife Mod Beta version, developed by Valve software along with the creators Minh Le and Jess Cliffe, who used John Carmack and Michael Abrash Quake engine that Id software developed, This game was released back in June 1999. by Valve and the world's best counterstrike players at the time were 2 Danish players named MAXE and Tuborg. In 2003, a version was released for Xbox, and in the spring of 2004, Valve published Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, which in addition to updated graphics and playability introduced a single player part. Later that year, Valve also released Counter-Strike: Source, which, unlike the old versions of the game, built on Half-Life 2 and thus the new source engine. 185.5.166.210 (talk) 10:47, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Correct Publish date reverted back to wrong one - no sources/proof for the wrong information you added back

Okay, sorry if I update this talk-section somehow wrong, but I'd just like to prove some of you were wrong, and my update for the publish date was correct. I corrected that the CS 1.0 was published on 8th November of 2000 - after that, someone reverted it back to "9th November of 2000" and saying "9th is correct", reason for the revert firstly was simply that I didn't provide sources for the correct date - and the 9th November is "correct" by sources: The sources pointed to publish date does not even mention anywhere the date or time when it was published! The source says: "By Trey Walker on November 9, 2000 at 3:09PM PST" Trey Walker made news about game being published on November 9. He does not mention anywhere the time or date for game actually being published. The November 9, 3:09 PM is date and the time for the news of Tray Walker - not for the game being published. Okay, next, lets check the game version 1.0, when it was actually published - not the date of news.

Source 1 for CS 1.0 being published on November 8, 2000: https://counterstrike.fandom.com/wiki/Counter-Strike_patches
Source 2 for CS 1.0 being published on November 8, 2000: https://joliesjunk.wordpress.com/2012/10/11/the-history-of-counter-strike/
Source 3 for CS 1.0 being published on November 8, 2000: https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/Counter-Strike_patches

So.. How about you check the information which is correct and not just assume you are right - when you clearly was at wrong, before reverting the corrected information back to wrong one and just saying "is correct" - without sources being showed how it is correct. If you ask why I did just not update the correct information and add sources into source section - The answer is simply: Because you just deny the rights from me doing it by putting this page in Semi-Protected mode.

MikkoMuhis, I'm afraid none of these are reliable sources and cannot be used to verify the release date. Lordtobi (✉) 17:24, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

User:Lordtobi, so.. Could you please remove the publish date of 9th november from the articles? There are no sources for it - and all the sources you can find tells it to be 8th november but those are not reliable - so would you please add "Publish date: Unknown" to there, if that is the best solution? The current 9th november is not told anywhere to be date of the publish date for the game - except faulty mistake on these wiki pages as someone silly one just added date of the news to date of the game publish date..

Best regards, Fan of Counter-Strike series - Mikko. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MikkoMuhis (talk • contribs) 17:31, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

MikkoMuhis, but there is a reliable source that claims the release date to be the ninth. Unless you proof (via a reliable source) that the date is different, the current one should remain. Lordtobi (✉) 17:36, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

I'd go as far as to say that the sources you list are wrong. The official Counter-Strike website announced the release on November 9, with the changelog listing the same date. Some screenshots were released the day before.[1] The source is already used in the article. Lordtobi (✉) 17:52, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

Redirects

I am not sure if there should be redirects for the game's fictional terrorist organizations, e.g. Phoenix Connexion, Arctic Avengers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rafplayz001 (talk • contribs) 19:34, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Which games are proper series releases

I initially undid this edit because I googled the game and found sources calling it a mod, but I just realized it has its own section in the article (and those sources call it a game). I'm still rather inclined to keep the infobox to main series-releases, but I'm bringing it up here in case we want to have a discussion about whether spin-offs should count as being in the series for the purpose of the infobox. Generally, reliable sources talking about the CS series are only refering to three or four games, depending on CS:CZ, so I would think that should govern? Alyo (chat·edits) 14:37, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Nexon: Studio is a full-fledged game. What sources did you explore that call it a mod? The Steam page for Nexon Studio describes it as a game, whereas this Portal mod has a disclaimer identifying it as one. I do not intend to be a rude, but rather I am genuinely curious to these sources. I am also supportive of listing spin-offs in the infoboxes, as this has been done before for other series. LVDP01 (talk) 15:07, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

No worries--as I said I realized that was entirely a mistake when I looked further down the article. I was unfamiliar with the title, so googling "counter strike nexon: studio" and going to news results only pulled up one relevant result on the first page, causing my confusion. That said, I still wonder about putting spin-offs made by a different developer in the infobox? The article is primarily about the Valve series, which reflects the way sources usually talk about CS as a series, so "latest release" would most commonly refer to a game in that main series, not a third-party spinoff. Are there any articles that include those when discussing latest releases? Alyo (chat·edits) 17:41, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Apologies for the late response, I've been busy and will be until June 23. I'll get back to you to discuss this shortly after that day. LVDP01 (talk) 19:19, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
